Final Fantasy Poetry.

So here is a fun game that is meant to be creative and because I'm a little weird how about some poetry about final fantasy I'll go first.

There once was a party in Midas, who started laughing like Tidus, The nerd rage was strong as they continued to wipe that now they all have tendinitis.

Midas doesn't rhyme with Tidus though I think.

This is a limeric, right? I think the bold lines should rhyme.

There once was a party in Midas
who started laughing like Tidus
The nerd rage was strong
as they continued to wipe
that now they all have tendinitis.

I'll try a haiku

In deliverance
WAR bodies will soften but
Fell cleave gets them hard

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Bowties are cool
And so are you

On the 28th day,
of the second umbral moon
Washed up a lonely female Hyur in Limsa,
whom all thought was a loon

She sang, she laughed, and she danced with local pirates
Too soon to acquire herself a grimoire, and face the dangers of the climates
As kind as she is beautiful, she helps the people without pity
Quickly tagged an adventurer, doing selfless deeds for the city

Who is she? There's something about her. Those eyes. Can't you see?
They gleam radiant purple. As foretold in the prophecy.
Everyone sees it too. That she is too good to be true.
She makes an enemy with every friend, yet her gratuity knows no end.

Little did everyone know, that the moon child who washed ashore that night
Arrived within the walls of Limsa Lominsa, Eorzea's warrior of light.

I tried to kill Sephirot Ex,
He pushed us all over the edge.
The tank yelled in rage,
At the noob of a mage,
And I never tried Sephi again.

The Spanish Serenade
There once was a Bard named 'Elanus' ♪
Who thought that her name was the greatest ♪
After Clive set her straight, from her 'El Anus' fate ♪
Her deletion was swift and quite famous ♪


Boomstick Diplomacy
Liar liar bombs on fire ♪
Sharlayans blew up in Idyllshire ♪
With zooms and booms, and uplander dooms ♪
Twas a Gobbie invasion (with no one the wiser) ♪


Tragic Lovers
You're never there when I need you to be ♪
All alone as I beg and I plea ♪
What more do you want; I sacrificed Haurchefant ♪
Please forgive me... my sweet RNG.... ♪

From the ruins of Gelmorra,
haunted by demonic fauna.
There sat a young maiden,
she held a head made rotten.

The man she loved, sentenced to the abyss of death.
Even though he had nothing for her but contempt.
Yet she sought to revive him, with powers vile.
She tried to revive, dangerous was the attempt.
Unable to let go, sanity redialed.
Until a group of heroes, attacked on the preempt.

The maiden slain, but her delusion unquelled.
The demons conspired to pick up who was felled
And now she haunts the civilizations of the living
Mark these words, Edda's returning

You'd make a pretty good Bard. I think I'll try my hand at weaving a poem based on the War of the Magi (and also referencing the Bardsongs) later

all of these are just magical, I'll post a few more when I get back from work.

I fixed it.

Tonberry Stalker
knife in front, leading us to
His Royal Highness

A death coming soon
But only for one Baffoon
L o L Dragoon

Pterodactyls, o' pterodactyls...
None will bite my bait!
I'll leave with nothing at this rate...
Red Balloons should do according to my book!
Perhaps you prefer something much tastier...
I shall return, next: with Lalafells on hook!

Dailies with my Duty Finder,
I have been the hater,
for low levellers,
who made me do the Haukke Manor.

But wait there's more,
as my bum becomes sore,
as the high level popper,
is the same thing but HARDER.

F*ck the noobs and haters,
I'm going with the players,
who are the speedier,
they are the Expert Roulette spammers.

But oh what a pointer,
for how much a giver,
of this party maker,
they make me go with the wipers.

SUMMONERS, WHERE YA BANE?
BLACK MAGES, WHERE YA FLARES?
DRAGOONS, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!
PLEASE STOP THESE MADDENING FARES!

And now we get together,
as we all go to Idyllshire,
to prove we're hardworkers,
to make our gears shinier.

As our dailies are finished,
we turn to the cream of midcore,
the Void Ark runs I need,
to say that I am actually hardcore.

So, we reach the end,
My 3 hours in vain,
I count my gain,
and prepare myself again.

For another Duty Finder.

I've been saying MY-dus this entire time. An achievement is named "The Midas Touch", which I believe is a reference to some commercial jingle for a car repair place. (Trust the Midas touch..)

Unless Tidus is being pronounced wrong?

It's a reference to the legend that King Midas turned everything he touched into gold. I guess the English pronunciation would be close to my-dus, I tend to pronounce it me-das (english pronunciation for 'me', german pronunciation for 'das')

Tidus is supposedly pronounced 'Tee-duss' (At least according to the voice actors on the Dissidia games!).

so many references! I like that it has more of a historical meaning than some car repair business.

Actually, Gordias (the first Alex) is Midas' father (hence, Alex Gordias being 'xx of the father' and Alex Midas being 'xx of the son' in DF). The 2 are tied to Alexander (the Great) in that Gordias tied an ox-cart to a tree with an intricate know that no one managed to untie (which is where Gordian Knot comes from), until Alexander the Great a couple hundred years later popped over and just cut the thing rather than trying to untie it.

Don't they pronounce it 'Tie-duss' in FFX though? In the English voiced version that is.

That's where it gets a bit flakey really.. Not only are there multiple versions of the legend/myth, there was also an actual historic King Midas ;)

Not to mention that Alexander being traditionally holy aspected could also allow the 3rd tier to reference the Holy Spirit, and thus the Trinity

Play FFX again.

They never say the main character's name.

It's like he doesn't exist.

A Requiem for Foe Requiem

Sing, please sing
It is the only thing I ask
There are no downsides, no 20%
And things will die faster
Why wouldn't you want that

I am waiting patiently
Its been half an hour
Should I say something, perhaps
I am only a black mage

I have seen
A black mage named Foe Requiem
Oh how well
Do I know his plight

There once was a PVP leader -
both a monk and an OF reader.
They took One Ilm away and his rank fell each day.
Yoshida! Yoshida! Yoshida!

Ah right.. It HAS been a while since I played it (like, when it first came out) .. I did get the HD remake for the Vita, but haven't played it yet ;)
